In Conversation With The Kitchen’s Chef Hugo Matheson, Colorado

Both Chef and Co-Founder of The Kitchen in Boulder, Hugo Matheson certainly has a lot on his plate. His talent and perseverance have taken him from London to Colorado. After covering The Kitchen in our article on Boulder’s 10 best restaurants, we decided to speak to Chef Matheson and discover more about him and his views on food.

The Kitchen is a growing family of restaurants and we are thrilled to have recently expanded across Colorado into new communities including Glendale, Union Station, Fort Collins and, opening in late October, into the Chicago community. Our non-profit, The Kitchen Community, is reaching over 100,000 children with Learning Gardens in schools across the country and we are expanding to reach thousands of more kids this school year and beyond.

Black Cat. Although sadly I have not been in a while, Eric Skokan is a chef and farmer. I take my hat off to people who take on an entire farm while also running a restaurant. Between running the farm and restaurant he even wrote a book Farm Fork Food. He’s crazy to do all of that at once and I really admire him!

Excited to see Blackbelly opening. Hosea is going from a mobile unit to bricks and mortar.

In Boulder, culture lovers need to…

Slow down walk the streets. Catch a show at BMOCA or CU Art Museum. Sit out at Boxcar on the East end of Pearl St. to watch the people, and on the West end of Pearl St. watch the changing hills outside Spruce Confections.
